The Sims 2: Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff (PC CD)

from: Electronic Arts

April 18, 2008
Apparently EA weren't satisfied with the millions of dollars they've already made from the Sims series, so they've resorted to very clever marketing to squeeze yet more money out of their customers.

This Stuff Pack, like all the others, contains no new gameplay elements and just adds some objects to the game. This one adds, as you would expect, various furniture to the game, along with some hairstyles and things.

Basically, guys, you're being ripped off. There are hundreds of thousands (probably millions by now) of custom items available on the internet to download for The Sims 2, quite legally and for free. Better still, if you download only your own choices you won't be burdened with useless junk you'll never use ... Read More:

Rugby 08 (PS2)

from: Electronic Arts

July 25, 2007
Like another reviewer that can't get this to run on their quad core machine, I cannot get this to run on a Nvidia SLI based machine.
I have spent hours going through the EA helpdesks suggestions to get this to work, but basically it hasn't been tested on SLI and just crashes on start-up.

Bottom line, if you have a high spec machine that Rugby 08 should look wonderful on, you won't even see the splash screen.

The Sims 2: Bon Voyage Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

from: Electronic Arts

September 06, 2007
The sims bon voyage is the excelent new expansion pack to the sims, adding the ability to allow your sims to journey to new places (Similar to the on vacation expansion for the first sims game). It adds many new features (such as a bow interaction which can be learned while in a Japan themed vacation) to greatly increase the fun factor of the game, problably more than any other expansion (excluding my favorite, the pets expansion!).

The Sims 2: Castaway (Nintendo DS)

from: Electronic Arts

October 26, 2007
I enjoy this game. I currently have three sims playing through as I created a new one each time I became a little stuck. I've created new things on each occasion and they have all had differing results so far & as yet I haven't finished the whole thing with any character. I like the game on the ds, controls are very easy, instructions are easy to follow. A good game to generally while away a few hours.

Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3)

from: Electronic Arts

June 27, 2008
This game is definately for people who thought COD4 was too 1 dimentional. Before the COD fanboys start gettin stroppy what I mean is that this is the first game that gives you almost complete freedom on both single and multi-player. If you like crazy running around in small, confined maps with guns blazing then yes no doubt COD4 is the king of that genre. But if your like me and prefer absolutely huge maps with the emphasis being on tactics and clever use of cover then buy this NOW. The single player is great but I haven't even completed it due to being hooked on the on-line play (the first game that has done this for me). From kneeling in a bush in full camo gear a mile away from the battle and sniping the enemy in the head to pushing through enemy lines ... Read More:

Dead Space (PC)

from: Electronic Arts

October 24, 2008
*DRM will not factor in my assessment of this game. For the record - I don't approve of the system, but I feel that the game is worth buying anyway.*

This is an action adventure game in the style of System Shock 2 and, more recently, Bioshock. In other words: it's an atmospheric adventure with a linear plot, a lot of shooting and some very light RPG character progression elements, which I will expand on later.

Premise:

The game's premise is hackneyed. You are a simple mechanic travelling on a support ship to investigate a huge mining ship that has ceased communications mysteriously. Sounds familiar? It is. In many ways this game is a tribute to the entire "In space, no one can hear you scream" subgenre - it borrows heavily ... Read More:

EA Playground (Nintendo DS)

from: Electronic Arts

November 09, 2007
I brought this game for my daughters and they love it! There is a lot of different sports you can play : football, basketball, skateboarding, trampolining and loads more. There is also three profile spaces, so all of my daughters could play with out buying anymore games. I think this game is good for 7+ because younger children would find a couple of the sports hard to play.
